DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
A Man Bi own to \ toms and a Build
ing Reduced to SpiinIers.

NEW YORK, March THE dynamite
works of Mrs. Mary A. Ditnar at Bay
Chester on the Long Island Sound blew
up for the fifth time at o'clock to-day.
killing one man and leyeling the buildings
to the grounds. The last previous explo-
sion was on Sept. so, last when four
Italians employed in the packing house
were blown to atoms. Mrs. Ditmar was
tried for maintaining nuisance and YER
dict of not guilty was rendered She then
caused the building, which had been RACED
to the ground, to be rebuilt and resumed
the work of making dynamite. The ex-
plosion to-day was in the mixing house.
The only person in the building was Henry
Altinger, German laborer aged % wears.
He was adding the chemical to vat of the
explosive. The vessel was open at the top,
and was lined with lead. In the manu-
facture of this mixture it is necessary to
keep the temperature down to certain
point. The operator evidently allowed the
temperature to rise too high, and the
explosion followed. Max Kruger haCbleft
the house and had almost reached the boiler
house when he was stunned by the crash
and the flying debris. Kruger has been in
three of the last explosions, having on each
occusion just left the building. On each
occasion he escaped unhurt. When he re-
recovered from the shock to-day he found
himself surrounded with broken and splin-
tered timberS and fragments of the young
mans body who was at work there at the
time. There were about 400 pounds of the
glycerine in the vessel-enough to blow the
house and everything it contained to atoms.
The building was about 13X24 feet in
dimensions and two stories high,
built of rough boards There is
not vestige OF it left except small black
splinters about three or four inches long.
The site OF the building is marked by hole
about ten feet deep and twenty feet in
diameter. The defamation was heard at Il
distance of twenty-five miles. The shock
was felt in all the surrounding villages, and
people ran out of their houses in panic,
thinking it an earthquake. Windows were
broken nearly a mile away. The unfortu-
nate young mans body could not all be
found. Coroner Tice gathered some teeth,
the skull and foot, which were put into a
packing box and were viewed by the jury,
which was Immediately summoned.

The Bulgarian Trouble.

PARIS, March Temps asserts that the
political prisoners arrested at Sofia for par
ticipation in the recent revolt were whipped
with knouts during the entire night follow
ing their arrest; that KaraVeloff is now
dying from the effects. and that five officers
have already died from the effects of the
punishment. Temps says the Bulgarian
regents hope that they will succeed by the
exercise of such cruelty in terrifying those
meditating revolution, and thus prevent
new uprisings. The regents, the paper
adds trust that Russia will NOT interfere,
and intend soon to proclaim the absolute
independence of Bulgaria.
SOFIA, March 7.-Baron Thielmann, the
German consul general on behalf of Russia,
has demanded the release of six rebels, two
of whom have already been shot. NJ.
Flerch, the French consul general, has
complained that Karavelaff and Tsanoff
were maltreated by the government. The
government denies the charge on the adj
mission of the rebels themselves. The porte
has advised the government to deal Ieni-
emily with the rebels.

too late we. who possess full conscious
ness of the dangers which now beset our
national existence, should exercise the wis
dom to provide against them. 1t is appar-
ent that more satisfactory method for
electng president must be adopted, or
this government will yet melt away before
the heat OF partisan rancor. If we want to
avert the danger of some future CESAR or
NAPOLEON erecting an empire on the ruins
of the republic, we must remove the oppor-
tnnities for doing so. If we want to secure
the nation against the danger of an estab-
lished aristocracy, founded on wealth and
corporate power, we must invent a more
democratic method for eiectlng United
States senators. There are great many
other features of an organic law which need
revision and remodeling in order to facili-
tate our national development. 1t is time
that the country was producing some states
man capable of taking the lead in this
reformation.

TILE VETO POCKET.

The presidents audacity in coolly pocket
ing the river and harbor bill fairly paralyzed
the Republican senators. 1t was something
that they were not looking for, and never
dreamed that even the audaciouS CLEvE-
LAND would brook their imperial viii in
such an otf-hand way. 1t is true that the
senate had already had touch OF the pres
ident's mettle and ought to have been pre-
pared for it. The nerve he exhibited in ye-
TONG the dependent pension bill was enough
to have satisfied any reasonable legislative
body that he is not man to be tritied with
But the senate is such an imperious dicta
torial body, and so accustomed to having
its own way, it could not realize that a
president would dare to thwart it in the way
that Mr.. CLEVELAND did. That there
was no necessity fer this supplemental river
and harbor bill everybody knew. There is
now lying in the treasury SIC, 600, 900 I'M
expended of the appropriation made by the
same congress in a former river and harbor
bill. The additional $10,0OO,OO0 appro-
priated by this bill was not needed and
could not have been expended before the
meeting of the next congress. It's pas
sage was a whim of the senate's
fol- which there is no rational
explanation. The senate undertook to bull
doze the house into passing the bill and sue
ceeded. The house was not allowed the
privilege of examining into the bill. Itwas
forced into conference committee, and so
far as the house was concerned it was
fixed up by the three members who repre-
scented the lower branch of congress, with.
out the other members having an oppor-
tunity to even scrutinZe it. Taking advan
tage of the pressure of business which
comes with the last hours of congress the
senate succeeded in whipping it through.
The senators relied on the same conditions
to press the president into giving his ap-
prOval to the measure. But they were
mistaken in their man. Mr.. CLEVELAND
is never caught mapping and refused to step
into the trap which the wary senate had
laid for him. Instead of appendng his
signature to the document which was pre-
sented to him in the last moments of the
dying congress he quietly slipped it into his
inside pocket, where a good many other
Ubiquitous measures are sleeping their last
sleep. Of course the disappointed senators
are mad and will raise howl against the
president. But the great bulk of the peo-
pie will not be effected by the clamor that
will be raised. They admire the man whose
vigilance and cOolheadednesS have been a
great bulwark of defense to the public
treasury. He is q man after the peoples
own heart and they are going to stand
by him.

NEW NATIONAL CONSTITUTION.
The one hundred years which have marked
the progress of this nation have been most
eventful ones in the progress of science.
government and civilization There is not
another century of the worlds history so
crowded with great events, and on which
the stamp of progress has been so indelIibly
marked. 1t is century which has filled
the nations Of the earth with the marvels
and glory of human progress, and has alto
gether revolutioniZed the affairs of the
world. And yet this government is exist
ing under the same constitution which was
framed hundred years ago-framed at a
time when the conditions which exist to-day
were not even as much as dreamed of, and
framed by men who had no experimental
knowledge of republican government
These facts of themselves ought to suggest
to the minds of modern statesmen the ne
cessity for a remodeling of our organic
law. But in addition to this, we are con-
stantly confronted with the cumbersome
and unsatisfactory conditions of our COVER
mental neutrality-suspicious. which can
not be changed without change IN the
national constitution. A constitution
which was adopted to suit the
slow and primitive conditions of
thirteen states, including total
population of less than 100000 can
not in the nature of things be suited to the
progressive conditions of the Union of to-
day, with its So states and 10000, 900 of
people. and its railroads and telegraphs and
rapid methods in political and commercial
lite. The nation has advanced beyond its
constitution. All the departments of gov.
eminent find it necessary to give strained
constructions to constitutional provisions in
order to keep the course of government
anything like in accord with the progress OF
the age. Why, then. should not steps be
Immediately taken to make new constit,l.
ton for the nation.
The nation has already barely escaped
destruction on issues Which would never
have arisen if human foresight could have
provided against them. But the fathers OF

growth and advancement of the nation the,
founded, nor was it in the range of human
knowledge that they should Before it i.
